Heartbreaking, witty and deliciously romantic, Julie Cohen is back with her fabulous new novel. Perfect for fans of Harriet Evans and Jill Mansell
Perfect for fans of Harriet Evans and Jill Mansell... A gorgeously warm, funny and heartbreaking story about facing up to your past and finding out what - and who - you really want...
Alice Woodstock has her life under control. She's successful and she's happy - as long as she continues to ignore the hurt from her past. But when said past walks back into her life in the shape of Leo - the man she married too young, ran away to Paris with and who ultimately broke her heart - Alice is desperate for an escape route. She finds the perfect thing - a new job as a tour guide in a Regency stately home. But as she immerses herself in acting out the stories of the house, Alice begins to see parallels with her own life, forcing her to confront her feelings about what she wants and, finally, live in the real world.
